If your children are like mine, they base their Halloween costume on whatever character catches their fancy over the summer.  Last year a few of them were Hannah Montana, The Simpsons, Shrek the Third, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean and Spider Man 3.  As we all know, huge trends for Halloween costumes are geared toward characters from movies that are released over the summer.  Here are just a few of the big summer blockbuster movies being released this year that will definitely be huge costume sellers at Halloween Express over the coming months:

Iron Man – “Heroes Aren’t Born – They’re Made”

Speed Racer – “Go, Speed Racer, Go”

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian – “A New Age Has Begun”

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull – “The Adventure Continues”

Kung Fu Panda – “Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting”

Hellboy II: The Golden Army – “Humanity’s Only Hope”

The Dark Knight – “Gotham Needs You”

Horton Hears a Who – “One Elephant, One World, One Story”

The Incredible Hulk – “Our Only Hope is Something Incredible”

Great Movie and TV Costumes

You’re probably sick of me asking this, but do you have your Halloween costume yet?  There’s still time!  Go to our shipping page and you’ll see you can still order your costume and have it shipped to you in time for Halloween. It’s not too late. Here’s the link: Just in Time Shipping Schedule and Delivery Calculator

Grease is one of my all time favorite movies!  Who can forget Rydell High with Danny, Sandy, Rizzo, Kenickie, Frenchy, The T-Birds and The Pink Ladies?  The movie was released in June 1978 and is still wildly popular today.  I don’t think there’s a song in that movie that most people don’t know every word to.  Even my children love it!  With our line of Grease costumes now you go back to the days of poodle skirts and saddle shoes.  Check out all our Grease costumes at Grease Halloween Costumes.  Grease is the word!

The Lord of the Rings is a blockbuster trilogy consisting of:

  • The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
  • The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers  
  • The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King   

The films were critically acclaimed, winning an unbelievable 17 Academy Awards.  My nephews love this trilogy and have seen them over and over again.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve played Lord of the Rings Monopoly with them!  The characters in the movie are so well known that when you dress as one for Halloween everyone knows what character you are.  Gandolf, Frodo, Aragorn, Legolas, Queen Arwen and even the lovely Gollum are some of the costumes you can choose from.  See our entire line of The Lord of the Rings costumes at  Lord of the Rings Halloween Costumes.

As far as children and Nickelodeon go, there’s no better match.  Children love Nickelodeon and all the characters that come with it.  So when it comes to picking out their costumes many children want to be the characters that are in the Nickelodeon shows they like.  Sponge Bob (which I happen to know is not just a childs favorite – many adults love Sponge Bob) and his friend Patrick, Blues Clues, Dora the Explorer and her brother Diego are all shows that children love to watch.  For all our Nickelodeon favorite costumes go to  Nickelodeon Halloween Costumes.

Remember there’s still time to shop, order and receive your costume from Halloween Express.  Get shopping now and make this Halloween a night to remember!

Toddler Halloween Costumes

Have you seen the new USPS letter carrier costume for toddler’s size 2-4?  Postman Toddler Halloween Costume   It is absolutely adorable!  Now, Halloween Express has a new toddler costume that just came out – a UPS driver costume. UPS Driver Toddler Halloween Costume   These two costumes are so cute and look just like the real thing.  You’re little girl or boy would look great in either of these costumes.  Ok, if you have twins, how cute would that be to have one go as a mailman and the other as a UPS driver?  You have to see these costumes!

My sister lives in Florida and she just bought the infant Snowman costume for her two year old son.  Snow Baby Infant Halloween Costume   I thought it was pretty appropriate since they live in Florida and the only way they’ll see a snowman is with a costume.  She loved it and couldn’t get over how cute it looked on him.  He’s a little buster and built close to the ground so when she put the costume on him the bottom of the snowball came to the tops of his shoes (which made it look even cuter).   When he put on the black top hat she couldn’t stop laughing.  He looked so cute!   I told her since they live in Florida she has to put sandals on him when he goes out trick-or-treating.  That would be the ultimate Florida snowman!  She’s also going to have him wear the costume for their Christmas cards this year which I think is a great idea!  I can’t wait to see them.  Last year for Halloween, he went as the Superhero Flash.  The Flash Newborn Halloween Costume   That was another great costume.  He wanted to wear it all the time even after Halloween.  He wouldn’t take it off!  It reminded me of the little boy in the movie Daddy Day Care. 

I could spend hours looking at all our toddler costumes.  That is such a great age for Halloween.  They’re still not real sure what Halloween’s about, but you put that costume on them and they’re out the door!  Plus add candy to the mix and it’s the best holiday ever!

Don’t forget there are only 15 more days until Halloween!  You don’t want your kids trick-or-treating with a sheet over their head dressed as the old “fall-back” ghost costume because you waited too long to order that one perfect costume they really, really wanted.  So what are you waiting for – start ordering!!

How cool would it be to be a Superhero for a day?  Well, now you can – at least for Halloween.  What better character to play than one that has super powers and strength?  Ok, you might not get the super power thing, but you can still put on the costume and look just like the Superhero of your choice!  There are so many different costumes and sizes that just about everyone from a toddler to an adult can be a Superhero.  Because there’s so many to choose from they’re great for individual, couple and group costumes.  You could have a whole family of Superheroes – even your dog can find a superhero costume!

Wonder Woman:  For all you women out there that feel you play the role of Wonder Woman all the time with going to work, raising kids, doing the laundry, cleaning, making dinners, etc…, why not actually be Wonder Woman in full gear for the night and get the respect you deserve?    Wonder Woman Halloween Costume   

Supergirl:  This is the woman who keeps Superman in line.  Why should he get to have all the fun?  Super Girl Halloween Costume

Batgirl:  This is one sexy Batgirl costume!  Once again, Batman’s better half.  Bat Girl Halloween Costume

Masked Beauty:  If Zorro had a gorgeous seductive female counterpart this would be her.  Mystery Hero Halloween Costume

But, hey let’s not forget about the guys!  Besides your everyday fantastic Superheroes such as, Superman, Spiderman and Batman you have a few Superheroes you don’t hear about that often.  But believe me when you put on any of the following costumes, no one will be forgetting them any time soon.

Captain America  Captain America Halloween Costume

The Incredible Hulk   Hulk Halloween Costume 

Zorro  Zorro Halloween Costume

What’s great about these costumes is that most of them come in child sizes too.  Check out all our Superheroes costumes for adults/teens and children.  This Halloween you can be one of the good guys!
